Abstract
Compositions and methods are provided for the modulation of expression of cellular adhesion molecules. In accordance with preferred embodiments, oligonucleotides are provided which are specifically hybridizable with nucleic acids encoding intercellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, and endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1. Methods of modulating expression of cellular adhesion molecules are provided, as are methods of treating conditions associated with cellular adhesion molecules. In a preferred embodiment, the cellular adhesion molecule is ICAM-1, and a preferred antisense sequence targeted to human ICAM-1 is demonstrated to have clinical utility in several disease indications.
